Not Ready To Rock

Not Ready To Rock was quickly decided to be the album's opener, due to the line "My name is Tom and I'm funky" functioning well as an intro. At one point it was even considered to be the album title.

It was one of the first songs written for Living Targets. The song was recorded during their first session in Cologne during late 2000. It was produced by Uwe Sabirowsky.

This song has been played live at least occasionally ever since 2000.

[Intro]

My name is Tom and I'm funky

(Beatsteaks, Beatsteaks, Beatsteaks, Beatsteaks)

[Verse]

I won't shake my ass

I won't rock the desk

I won't hold a mask

And I do confess

I come clean

I use vaseline

So fuck the scene

Know what I mean?

Oh my god, this band is tight

Oh my god, I cannot hide

I'm not ready to rock

Oh my god, this band is tight

Oh my god

Come on

I'm not ready to rock

Come on

I'm not ready to rock

Come on

I'm not ready to rock

Come on

So fuck the scene

Not ready to rock

Ready to rock
